was a very well known S1 and one of the top S1 show cars in the country.

It is looking a little chavvy now, was painted that colour as it is whiter than the standard yellowy diamond white iirc.

Personally I think bought at the right price, you could sell off alot of the bling stuff leaving plenty to buy the stock stuff.

Would also look to see what condition it is in now, and how well the work was actually done unerneath.

Look past the blink and it could well be a tidy motor and a nice one to see go back towards a standard look externally. I was toying with the idea myself.

Needs a mint standard s1 interior putting back in and some up to date wheels on it. Trouble is you have probably 0% chance finding a mint s1 interior for sale.

MattSab owned it and created it as it is, the current owner is a member on www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk

There are some more pictures of it as it is at the moment iirc on his sale thread.
